Abstract: This application provides a downlink signal receiving method, a terminal, and a source base station. The method includes: A terminal may receive downlink signals from a source base station and a target base station in a handover process. When receiving no downlink signal from the target base station, the terminal receives the downlink signal only from the source base station. In addition, after handover is completed, the terminal receives the downlink signal only from the target base station, so that the terminal can still receive the downlink signal from the source base station in the handover process. Therefore, downlink signal transmission interruption caused by the handover process may be reduced to 0 ms or nearly 0 ms. In other words, zero interruption or nearly zero interruption of data transmission may be implemented.
